More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I've finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.
Gloria Steinem
You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate, so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, You would be a good candidate and I'll help you. It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?
Gloria Steinem
I think we acquire habits of mind when we're little, and I lived in the future because I was always imagining being a grown-up, when I could get out.
Gloria Steinem
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
Gloria Steinem
Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.
Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
Gloria Steinem
In the last 25 years, we've convinced ourselves and a majority of the country that women can do what men can do. Now we have to convince the majority of the country - and ourselves - that men can do what women can do. ... Let's face it: until men are fully equal inside the home, women will never be really equal outside it.
Gloria Steinem
The young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.
Gloria Steinem
we are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud
Gloria Steinem
As a profession, freelance writing is notoriously insecure. That's the first argument in its favor. For many reasons, a few of them rational, the thought of knowing exactly what next year's accomplishments, routine, income, and vacation will be - or even what time I have to get up tomorrow morning - has always depressed me.
Gloria Steinem
This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.
Gloria Steinem
Writers - we're a little crazy about how much we care about it. We spend a lot of time fussing. At least, I do.
Gloria Steinem
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography including male-male gay pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm, and almost all of it actually portrays or implies enslaved women and master.
Gloria Steinem
I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.
Gloria Steinem
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Gloria Steinem
When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.
Gloria Steinem
Logic is in the eye of the logician.
